Simple, warm merino tights made in New Zealand — comfortable everyday basics for practical kids.
Made from beautifully soft merino wool, these tights are designed to be durable daily essentials that keep little legs warm and comfortable. Merino naturally traps body heat while remaining breathable, making them ideal for cooler days and busy kids on the move. The fibre is also naturally odour and bacteria resistant, helping them stay fresher for longer between washes. Suitable for school uniforms, they’re a reliable wardrobe foundation parents can reach for again and again.
Layer under dresses, skirts or tunics on colder days, or wear as an extra layer for simple, practical warmth.

Fire Safety
This product complies with the Product Safety Standard (Children’s Nightwear and Limited Daywear Having Reduced Fire Hazard) Regulations 2016 and Safety Standard AS/NZS 1249:2014 (Children's Nightwear and Limited Daywear having Reduced Fire Hazard).
Washing & Care
Caring for merino is easy, but important to get right!
Washing
- Machine or hand wash at 40°C max (low spin speed for blankets)
- Use a wool-approved liquid detergent
- Close any zips before washing
- Turn the garment inside out to reduce pilling
- Place in a delicates wash bag if you have one
Avoid using laundry powder, soaking, bleaching, wringing, dry cleaning, or stain removers, as these practices can accelerate the biodegradation of Merino, causing holes.
Drying
We recommend air-drying merino. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as it can reduce the fabric's soft feel and may cause shrinkage.
Additionally, keep it out of direct sunlight to prevent any fading or discolouration.
Storing
Storing merino correctly is important to keep it safe from moths, mould, dust, and general wear and tear. Vacuum closets/drawers regularly and store with Cedar Moth Balls.
Stain removal
Never soak or bleach merino or use stain removal sprays- even if you develop a stain.
To remove stains on merino, carefully dab the area with a cloth covered in a wool-approved detergent. Follow up by washing your merino as usual and the stain should come out.
Odour removal
Merino wool's moisture-wicking properties makes it naturally odour-resistant.
Odours often vanish on their own, but if needed, air out by hanging, lay flat on a towel to rest, or hang in a steamy bathroom to refresh. The less your merino item is washed the longer it will last.
ABOUT THE FABRIC
Merino sheep produce the finest and softest wool in the world, its benefits are so great that no other fibre- natural or man-made, can match it.
We use extra fine 100% merino wool, it's nearly four times finer than the average human hair. This means it's incredibly soft against the skin and never itchy. Merino is inherently breathable and temperature regulating, keeping babies warm in cold temperatures and cooler in warm temperatures, this makes it a great year-round daily choice as well as being perfect for sleeping in. It also wicks excess moisture away from the skin, is hypoallergenic, and odour resistant, keeping skin comfortable and dry day and night. Merino wool is also an environmentally responsible choice, being a natural, renewable, and biodegradable fibre.
Woolmark and OEKO-TEX approved
All of our merino meets the strict Woolmark standards of exacting quality, traceability and eco-friendly production. It also meets the OEKO-TEX 100 Standard, designed to ensure textile products are free from harmful substances.
Naturally good for everyday comfort
Soft, warm and kind on the skin. Never itchy, our extra fine Australian merino wool fabric keeps kids comfy all year round. It’s hypoallergenic, wicks away moisture and regulates their temperature. And it’s durable, making it perfect for everyday basics.
18.5 micron fibres for incredible softness
Not all merino is created equal. The wool fibres in our all-natural merino fabrics are categorised as Extra Fine, with a diameter of 18.5 microns or less in our clothing range and 21.5 microns on our heavier hoodies.
Conveniently machine washable
Our Woolmark certified merino is approved for machine washing, meeting their strict performance standards for fibre content, colour fastness to light and liquid, durability, and laundry testing.

Parenting small children has enough complications. We look for ways to make our clothing practical, durable and easy for kids with features like double ended zips, reinforced domes, or built-in mittens.

These merino tights are warm and stretchy, with a gentle waist band that doesn’t dig into little tummies. They’re true to size, so the 5-6 will likely fit an average 6-year-old until they turn 7. Perfect for winter days at school or just out and about!
These tights are beautiful. They are very comfortable and so warm. Love them.
I purchased 2 pair in different colour and pattern, they are thick and warm. The gusset gives a nice snug supportive layer under clothes. The toes have extra reinforcement to prevent nails putting holes in them. I absolutely love these tights and will buy other colours, they look great worn with dresses and skirts. Well done for sizing to suit curvy figures. I am size 14 but need larger to suit my legs, these are comfy and stay up all day.
So warm and comfortable excellent quality arrived in post so quickly
The tights are warm, soft, and comfortable. Unfortunately, after just a few wears they developed a lot of pilling, making them look old and worn out. I'm disappointed because I expected better durability from wool tights.
Comfy and great quality!
I purchased these tights and very impressed with the quality, they are thick, soft, warm and I love the texture. They have a great selections of colours and can’t wait to buy more. They have a toes are reinforced and gusset is supportive and comfortable for all day.
If you want to feel gentle warmth & the smoothest fit, then simply choose the Merino tights. - leg luxury!
I love these tights. They’re a good weight for warmth and the colour and pattern are lovely. They’re made in Italy and seem to be good quality.
This is my first time purchasing with this shop. I’m really impressed with the quality, comfort, and designs of the tights I purchased. I like that I could choose from varying percentages of wool for different temperatures. I was looking at Swedish brands, but they were significantly more expensive. For the same price I was able to get two pairs, plus I got one patterned pair for fun!
I am so glad that I ordered from Merino & Me. I have just received my tights, and the socks and beanie for my 3 year old. They are all gorgeous, and great quality. The colours, the textures, and the feel are all great. I am sure that I will be warm this winter. The customer service was great as well. I had some issues with delivery and reached out to Harri. She was very responsive and directly made contact with the courier service to make sure that I get my order… and I did 😊
Lovely quality and provides that extra warmth
Absolutely beautiful delivery of high quality tights, thank you Merino and Me!!!
Our daughter is very happy with gifts of top quality tights and garments for her first baby and step daughter.
Would definitely recommend them
My new mustard coloured tights are great. They are a lovely colour and the texture is just right-warm but not too thick, a subtle pattern and very stylish. Just what I wanted.
Baby girl loves them, they keep her warm playing outside or on the bike on our way to daycare.
High quality product, gorgeous color.
Highly recommend.
Well fitting tights with fitted foot so easy to work out which is the right way round! Lovely rich colour in a very soft and warm merino and look great under skirts and with chunky boots. Also bought in other colours. Love these tights.
i'm sure my granddaughters will be very warm at school in their tights i bought
A staple for the cooler months! Perfect for layering especially under school uniforms. So comfortable, my kids don’t want to take them off. Won’t purchase tights anywhere else now. Thanks for making such a great product. Very happy customer!
Luv these tights , the colour is very cool and as I’m heading to cold country they will keep me warm and feeling cool all at the same time . Fit was good !
Lovely, warm tights
After feeling it once it arrived I realised it’s too itchy for me personally. However I can tell it’s good quality. The owner was great to deal with, as they made the return easy (I bought two but had to keep one because I damaged one), and when I accidentally purchased the wrong colour in the first place they were quick to make the adjustment for me and send the correct colour.
Beautiful quality wool tights - living is a cold climate, they keep my daughter warm in her winter uniform

These tights have been fantastic. My 6 year old daughter wears them with her winter school dress and has not complained about cold legs since I bought them. We are living at mount sturgeon in the Grampians in Australia and it's pretty frosty here but the cold does not penetrate her tights at all!! I will be buying more pairs every winter until shes no longer at school!
Seriously loved these - ended up buying 3 diff colours! unlike most thicker tights these are super comfortable and easy to tell which way to put them on! Love and have already recommended to friends.
Thank you for taking the time to source an item for me to ensure I was totally happy with my purchase. Your service was outstanding and I love my tights. Great service Great quality products. ❤️
Super soft and warm perfect under skirts or pants for the extra layer of warmth when visiting the Scottish highlands at Christmas
Soft, high quality tights. I am 5’2 about 53k and I ordered a small. Soft, thick durable and the depth of the dye is the most gorgeous colour. Very happy with the tights and very happy with Merino and Me. Recommend
But look great and as advertised
Beautiful material, nice and high at the waist. Was promptly posted aswell.
One problem I should mention but it doesn't take away from the quality of the product. The extra tall size is not made for a tall person of a fit healthy weight, I'm only 75kg at about 6 feet tall, I wear size 12-14 pants normally, and it's very very tight on my upper thighs and bum, I can still wear them but I would pick a curvier size option for extra tall if there was one available.
Thank you.
